Let us know how many Puts you have bought and what the strike date is. So we can all cheer your brilliant moves ...

The US commitment for debt is over $200 Billion not current but futures. The USA is a huge ponzi scheme ...
I didn't remember that, no. I wonder if the markets will take that much into consideration come this earnings season. All companies will be in the same fiscal boat I presume, unless they have unusual reporting periods.

Makes a change anyway. Ten years ago it was all about grave dancing. Equally boring.
I've never understood the motivation of net touts. They somehow continue to imagine that someone really cares about their predictions, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Old adage; Bootleg brand X OS troll/fans care far more about Apple and Apple users than vice versa.
Lol I have nowhere near that to drop but I am pretty sure you can buy as few shares as you want. Ive made transactions for under $100 when I was in school just messing around with the market. (not the smartest thing since even with discount brokers you usually pay around $7)
Sure you can. In the old days, before electronic trading, anything less than 100 shares was called an "odd lot" and could be difficult to trade, and the brokers would charge a premium to handle the trade. Ancient history.
There is no minimum required. I bought 7 stocks when they were at $373 (drop after Steve Jobs resigned as CEO). Cost me $29 total in fees with a discount broker.
REALLY? If you have so much money, you should take some grammar lessons. It's THAN not THEN.
Here is my prediction, $57b revenue EPS of $14.22. A blow-out quarter by apple in my book, but analysts will probably demand more and be slightly disappointed.
It´s important to remember there is one less week of earnings in this quarter, and that they had an unprecedented new line-up of products before the holiday season which will hurt profit-margins, but will improve over the course of 2013.
Mac sales will be very disappointing with maybe as few as 4million sold, primarily due to no availability.
Expect the share price to climb up to $630 prior to the conference call, and maybe $650 the following day.

Nopes. It's "Announcementception."INCEPTION!
I think it will be a very interesting watch, this quarter. Like you'll get to read totally "gone bonkers" reports on how the lawsuit affected their earnings which would definitely sound like it makes sense.
^ This. This WILL be a blow out quarter for Apple. Period.
Analysts aren't really "analysts". They have their hands in the pie and ulterior motives. With stocks like Apple there's a lot of market manipulation going on.
You want to play the stock market? Don't listen to anyone else. Do your own research before buying and NEVER let emotion dictate your decisions. Think either long term or short term.
Gonna be an interesting year for Cupertino's finest.
* I own only 17 shares of AAPL.
The pollution is from those who think objective analysis = pollution.

You don't invest in the market, eh?
And by objective you mean statements like: Apple sucks Samsung and Android are so innovative now blah blah blah.
ok
That's the date of my final exam too! Going to be a good day.
Going to be a stock-broker? LOL
Not to mention it's weight. I think just about everybody underestimated the run-away success of the Mini, sales in China are reportedly 'off the charts'. If only they could have produced them faster, this 'quarter' could have done even better.
Apple's staff focuses on the primary purpose of a business - making a profit by selling to customers with what they want and need - and they are doing a great job of it. A politician's primary job is to stay in office for life by giving their customers what they want and need in return for votes, and they are likewise doing a good job of that. Two different models, two different objectives, two different results. Unfortunately, only the first model is sustainable.
They do pay their taxes. Do you think the IRS would just sit on their hands and look the other way if they didn't?
Hey look! Someone who understands the basic principals of stock movement and the emotional responses of traders and investors.
I don't do predictions myself, but if only to test the reality of your comment I will note that $14.22 EPS would represent a 21% increase year-over-year. So where does this fall in the spectrum of Apple's earnings growth rates over the last few years? I don't have the numbers at my fingertips but I think at the lower end surely. Put it this way, how much stock value increase would be supported by a 21% EPS growth? In short, you are predicting that AAPL will run up at about twice the rate of EPS (and PE will jump up). Just so we know. What we don't know is why you think so.
As for the analysts, we don't know what will "disappoint" them because we have yet to see any forecasts. They will be coming in the next couple of weeks and they will be based on projected sales and margins. They will be guesses, but be based on far less "out of the air" numbers than you have ventured.
